Most bed bug problems start in one bedroom, and dealing with that whole room properly is the key to stopping them spreading. The crew we book treats the bedroom as a whole space, not just the bed, because bugs move out to the furniture, walls and floor edges within a few weeks of settling in. This suits Brisbane households who have caught the problem early, before it has reached other rooms.
The visit starts at the bed. The mattress and base are steamed, the frame is taken apart where practical and treated in its joints, and the headboard is checked front and back. The crew then moves outward to the bedside tables, drawers, dressing table and wardrobe, then along the skirting, around the window frames, behind power points and light switches, and into the gaps at the edge of the carpet or floorboards. Curtains and blinds are checked too. Each area gets steam, a crevice spray or a dust, depending on the surface.
Before the visit, you will be asked to wash and dry all bedding and clothes kept in the room, clear the floor and empty the bottom of the wardrobe. After the visit, sleep in the bed as normal. The crew comes back about two weeks later to treat any young bugs that hatch and to check traps under the bed. Keep bedroom doors closed at night between visits, and avoid moving furniture or belongings out of the room until the crew says it is clear, since that is how bugs reach the rest of the home.
